This contemporary cottage, surrounded by a lush enclosed garden, is set in the quaint village of Docking and is ideally located for adventures along the Norfolk coast. This elegant abode is perfect for a couples’ retreat or small family getaway with a furry amigo in tow. History buffs and curious canines will delight in scoping out the mysterious shipwreck ruins during a blustery saunter on Brancaster Beach (6 miles), before stretching out for an afternoon nibble on the lawn.
Hidden behind a traditional brick and flint wall, this secluded stonework property boasts a stylish interior with opulent soft furnishings, sleek neutral tones, and warm wooden details. Unclip sandy harnesses at the door then step into the sunny lounge. Curl up in the soft armchair with a novel or fire up the wood burner-effect electric fire and stretch weary paws and toes. Pad into the kitchen and stock up the sleek cabinets with locally sourced goodies. Whip up a celebratory supper then congregate in the light-flooded conservatory to feast overlooking the leafy lawn. Scope out the cosiest corner for Fido’s plush bed then choose from two peaceful bedrooms, consisting of a king-size and an adaptable super-king-size/twin. Completing the property is an airy bathroom. Play fetch on the large lawn then settle on the patio to sip your morning coffee.
Get noses twitching as you browse the fish stalls in Brancaster Staithe (6 miles) for unbeatably fresh seafood ingredients, or inhale the salty ocean breeze with a scamper along Thornham Harbour (6 miles) to watch the fisherman’s boats bobbing in the water. Pups with boundless energy will delight in sand-digging, wave-crashing, and ball-chasing on the doggy-designated areas of Holkham Beach (11.5 miles).
